Hmmm will this be the "3rd" time a Generations repaint looks better then its original mold?

Stay tuned to find out.....

Great news!

Thanks for both the TW instructions and G1 art pics...

Thunderwing looks OK. But if this fig is black and red, I just might buy it instead...

I'm content with my Botcon Deathsauras.

More importantly... Has anyone seen Jazz's instructions yet?

I'm still wondering who those heads on Terradive and Tomahawk's instructions were... Hopefully it'll be answered soon.

What if legal says they have to call it Dark Shadow or Sky Shadow? (sky shadow would keep the name circulating. From its energon and cybertron uses)

I guess so long as we get that mold in black shadows color scheme alone will be nice. No disrespect to thunderwing either. I'll be happy to find and purchase a bunch of awesome space Jets.

Black Shadow? Wow. I was hoping for it (considering that was Thunderwing's original remold in G1), but I didn't think Hasbro would do it! I'm happy to be wrong and will eagerly pick this up when released as well!

that is awesome, I am loving these cheeky little reveals by Hasbro. I can hardly wait to get Thunderwing and would happily oick up this awesome figure

I'm surprised the title hasn't been changed yet tbh since it's definitely Black shodow (I wouldn't mind if it was changed to sky shadow tbh, I don't think it should be too difficult to get Black Shadow though, after all the only thing I could think would be the Vincent Black Shadow motorbike but they haven't been produced for decades.

I knew this would happen! A Black Shadow remold, just like his G1 toy. Now, we only need a Blue Bacchus toy to go good beside him.

It seems Hasbro is starting to get into these Japanese characters. Would definitely love to see more coming

I do love how Hasbro are doing a nice amount of remoulding + new heads for new characters these days. Definitely turns the figures into an instant buy for me.

Looking forward to more Decepticons on the shelf!

No but we know the head is similar to Rodimus'. Though it won't be him. At BotCon 2010 they didn't know who the retool was going to be at that time (or at least weren't going to reveal who).

Probably not as the issue with Black Shadow was released in February 2010, and Hasbro was probably started working on Thunderwing/Black Shadow a year ago now. It was likely because BS's a retool of TW, and for that reason he was done.

we already have enough missinformation spread around here, we don't need more

Yeah that should really be done, as we have a lot of nincompoops that may take that as gospel or a rumor.
